Between festivals, pop up shows, cook outs and more, there's hardly been enough time to enjoy the hundreds of releases that come monthly; and that's wehre we come in to help. Since July was the first full month of summer, we've archived all of the best releases over 31 crazy days that you might've missed while you were out enjoying the sun. Get ready to play the greatest game of catch-up in your life and check these out.

OHGEEZY - Heavy

Although the Shoreline Mafia's reign has been long coming, each member of the group is finally getting the press and recognition they deserve; whcih is why OhGeezy's solo video for "Heavy" felt so damn good to see. The visual had him flexing cash with the squad whilst enjoying their budding glory.

Crash Rarri - Sneak Diss

Rarri is about to play one of his biggest shows to date at this year's Breakaway Fest in Columbus. With his previous work in high circulation across the map, he sent a shot out for those questioning his methods on the Soldado produced banger "Sneak Diss".

Oliver Francis FT. Big Baby Scumbag - Windows Down

This summer has been dominated by feel-good tracks that are easy to vibe to, which is why "Windows Down" from Oliver Francis and Big Baby Scumbag was so damn hard to ignore. The two young artists really cracked the code to make a hit with this one, bringing back those early, early 2000's feels.

DROWNMILI - You're A Lick

Is it really a hot summer if we don't get hit with a cult-like-classic release from New York? This time it comes courtesy of DROWNMILI and his video for "You're A Lick" which features all you could ever want set to a dark VHS inspired theme about catchign someone lacking.

Joei Razook - Out Of The Garden

Like it or not, you're about to see a huge boom in the popularity of Dayton's Joei Razook especially after the release of his debut album. Joei chose July as the token month to release his long awaited visual for "Out Of The Garden", and the angst filled, anti drug masterpiece proved to be extremely impressive.

ATM - LA Wit The Gang

I know you've seen the name before, but keep an eye out for ATM and his low-fi heaters that gain more traction by the day. His latest drop was the already popular "LA Wit The Gang" which featured high tempo bars over an even higher octane instrumental .

Lamont - Not 4 Everyone

We finally have an official timeline for the release of Lamont's "Love Lamont" project, but until then he decided to hold everyone off with a brand new EP titled "Not4Everyone". The Louisiana native has been dropping consistent heat, and this perfectly set the scene for his first true debut.

Denzel Curry - TA13OO

July also brought about a new studio album from Florida's Denzel Curry; which not only showcased the insane amount of growth he's had in his tenure in the game, but also the fact that he is a true student of the music.

Buddy - Harlan & Alondra

Buddy was another tremendous artist that made big waves to kick start the summer with his new album "Harlan & Alondra". Transitioning into different sounds than we've heard on his previous releases, Buddy definitely put together one for the ages.

$teven Cannon - No Hook

The Xanarchy also made a strong appearance with $teven Cannon's energetic visual for "No Hook" directed by Kendal Mathis & Lunar Thought. Cannon's project is on the way too, which is good because his takeover is well overdue.

Insomniac Rarri has been building his brand into one of the most promising new artists to come out of Ohio in recent memory. This was Rarri's first headlining show in Ohio, which made for a wild night of energy and anticipation. The venue's sound system was a problem throughout most of the night casting a dark shadow on what could possibly be the biggest show for the Therapy Cafe in some time. Though, after a while of trying to fix the conundrum, Rarri showed out for his set. Performing cuts like "What Dey Seem", "Used 2", "Famous/Spaceship" and "2OUTH2ID3", the crowd loved this intimate show backed by a variety of Insomniac Mob members. Lamb$ and Millz were also in the building for songs like "Right Now" and the Ohio classic "Fiji Water" with Will Turner. Overall Rarri did exactly what he was paid to do and that was to set the stage on fire. This magnificent recap video was shot and edited by Rich Visuals, peep the glory above.

As we approach the final days of 2017, we'll be highlighting a few artists who have made tremendous strides in music this year. Artists who's talents took form in 2016, but truly began to shine under the pressure and ever-changing climate of the culture. Smooky Margielaa maybe one of the youngest talents of 2017, but he also has the credentials to back up his argument. After signing to AWGE, Margielaa delivered three major tracks on Cozy Tapes Vol. 2. With "Black Card", "BYF" and "Bahamas", Smooky solidified his spot on the roster.

Another attribute of this 15-year-old phenomenon is his ability to work with artists from other regions and blend so effortlessly. Smooky's energetic collab with Honcho Da Savage for "Misfit" was another hit to add to the repertoire. Along with that and "Money Talks" both of those cuts were produced by 16yrold, who is helping Margielaa craft a timeless sound for the new age. His songwriting ability is quite impressive crafting songs like "Stay 100" and "Diamonds" with JBan$2Turnt that utilize his vocal range. Smooky's song "Feeling Savage" with King Combs puts him in a great position to gain more exposure in the mainstream, plus it's always good to have Diddy's son in your corner. It's crazy to think that this kid will be a millionaire well before he's even 21, but you can't hate when greatness works to the top. Stay tuned for what Smooky brings to the world next, we're sure it's always going to be some heat.

As we approach the final days of 2017, we'll be highlighting a few artists who have made tremendous strides in music this year. Artists who's talents took form in 2016, but truly began to shine under the pressure and ever-changing climate of the culture. Many artists influence current styles even though their sound isn't at the forefront of the scene. Uno The Activist is one of those few talents who's wave pushes others to bring their talent's to a higher level.

Uno is an enigmatic character that gave us one of the biggest records of 2016 with "What". With him being affiliated with AWGE, and having videos from Miggy and Cole Bennett, it seems as if Uno knows how to play this game. His breakout project LiveShyneDie showcases diverse flows and incredibly catchy songs throughout. Let's not forget about one of his loose releases that was dedicated to the Yachty issue called "#FreeSmoke", which was an incredible record. Uno has been thrashing through the underground for a few years now and there doesn't seem like an end in sight. Especially as an independent act, his musical freedom drives his legacy even further. This guy is fearless when it comes to his creativity, 2018 has no limits for Uno The Activist.

As we approach the final days of 2017, we'll be highlighting a few artists who have made tremendous strides in music this year. Artists who's talents took form in 2016, but truly began to shine under the pressure and ever-changing climate of the culture. There are many ways to describe the year Pi'erre Bourne has had, but the terms well-rounded and jack of all trades seem to stick out more than most. In a short amount of time, Pi'erre has managed to do what many creatives dream of by finding success both in front of the mic and behind the boards; making him one of 2017's greatest success stories.

All year long, Pi'erre has been the catalyst for a number of great waves we've seen, and he's made sure his presence was felt in every quarter of music. Behind the boards, Pi'erre easily has one of the most recognizable tags of the year; and for artists who have been lucky enough to receive production from the young Atlanta native, the results have been draped in blessings. Young Nudy saw a ton of success early in the year with Pi'erre's assistance on "Slime Ball 2", and Playboi Carti's amazing summer run was also fueled by Pi'erre's beat-making expertise. Making him a full force to be reckoned with, Pi'erre's own music was among some of the best as well, with millions of streams across many digital streaming sites. Now one of the most saught-after producers in the game, Pi'erre's resilliance and constant progression has us anxious to see how he positions himself in the new year. Check out some of his best work below.

As we approach the final days of 2017, we'll be highlighting a few artists who have made tremendous strides in music this year. Artists who's talents took form in 2016, but truly began to shine under the pressure and ever-changing climate of the culture. Next up is Atlanta's resident "Slime-ball", Young Nudy. To the untrained eye Nudy may seem as a relative new comer this year, but for those who have been familiar, watching him transition his status as a street legend to full blown industry success has been nothing short of spectacular.

For awhile now, Nudy has been the heartbeat of East Atlanta's gritty music scene; a feat that many artists have tried their hand at but have subsequently folded in some sense. Breaking the stigma that comes from having a family member already in the industry, Nudy's calm yet savage bravado has complimented his knack for turning his street experiences into anthems listeners from all over can indulge into. Nudy's independent efforts culminated into the release of his debut Album "Nudy Land", which not only backed up the claims that Nudy runs the streets, but also showed his versatility as an artist. With 2018 already in his sights for the taking, Nudy might be the unfiltered voice of the trap we've been waiting for. Check out his best work of the year.

Following the release of blkswn, Smino has hit the road with Ravyn Lenae and SZA during the CTRL Tour, running through his range of hits including lead-singles "Anita" and "Netflix & Dusse". To celebrate his October 2nd birthday, the St. Louis-based artist surprised fans with the sticky-sweet "Sorbet". Shifting into the new year, Smino has truly developed a swn that's all his own.

He has learned how to navigate the industry without losing a sense of his identity, this will keep him relevant in this current world of oversaturated sounds.

Steve Lacy joins the ranks as guitarist, super-producer, and singer-songwriter boy wonder. Dropping his radiant debut EP Steve Lacy's Demo earlier this year, it's evident that the 19 year-old has the music world in the palm of his hands.

It was just days after dropping his lead single "Dark Red" that I saw The Internet perform in Philadelphia. As the group's guitarist, Lacy swooned adoring fans, performing his recently-released project along with past SoundCloud favorites. Following his debut solo EP, Lacy released b-side cuts on SoundCloud, including "Moron" and the punk rock-tinged "4Real". Having production credits on Goldlink's At What Cost, Syd's Fin and TWENTY88's self-titled album, Steve Lacy will surely grace 2018 with more authentic tunes, along with a full-length fourth album with The Internet.
